' Both Republican and Democratic politicians want government to “do more” to give parents paid time off. ...

Can’t we just leave government out of it and let employers and employees work this out to meet individual needs?

Apparently not, because now even “conservative” politicians want government to “do something.” '

Too much stuff that the Federal government has involved itself in for sure. It's powers are limited according to the Constitution and our straying from that concept has caused us many problems. Liberals/Democrats however want the Federal government to be involved in everything

Totally agree, but unfortunately the Rs, IMHO, aren't too far behind the Dims in this regard!
